Chargers Two-Faced Offense

October 9, 2009

The San Diego Chargers offense have been the football version of Gotham City Villain Two-Face. The Bolts are ranked 2nd in the league in passing offense, averaging 295 yards per game. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has been airing it out and is on pace for just under 5,000 yards passing. His favorite targets, wide receiver Vincent Jackson and tight end Antonio Gates, are both on pace for 80 catches and over 1,400 yard receiving. Without Rivers’ aerial assault would the Chargers even be 2-2? The Bolts’ running game is a different story. San Diego is ranked last in the league in rushing offense, gaining only 54 yards per game. “Their leading rusher (Sproles) has 90-yards TOTAL on 37 carries over the first four-games. LT is 2nd on the team with 70 yards TOTAL on 17-fewer carries.” Who’s to blame? The offensive line has been plagued by injuries, L.T. was also sidelined for two games, Fullbacks have not blocked well, and coach Norv Turner has gotten some heat for the questionable play-calling. The Bolts have been losing their battles at the line of scrimmage and need to improve their individual battles on the line more frequently. Can they regroup and prepare themselves during the bye week? It might be a long season for L.T. or Sproles in the backfield if the Chargers’ front can not win the battle at the line of scrimmage.
